------MeeGo OS from Nokia and Intel---------
We all know Moblin and Maemo, Linux based open source operating systems supported by Intel and Nokia. Maemo is mainly used to develop user interfaces for mobile devices. Whereas the Moblin is used to power Intel atom based netbooks. Nokia already have successful phones like N900 running in Maemo. As per today announcement, Nokia and Intel will combine their efforts on Maemo and Moblin operating systems to develop a new OS called MeeGo. The MeeGo OS would be able to run on multiple devices netbooks, tablets, mobile devices etc.
The MeeGo aims to compete directly with Android, an OS that has similar capabilities. We don’t think that it could beat Android. However, the combined operation would contribute to the growth of Linux based mobile platforms in terms of application count and number of devices. First MeeGo based devices will be available from the second quarter of this year.
